Just Desserts
It wasn’t all bad, despite Hotel Hell (yes, I diid get my deposit back) and the Tigers’ heartbreaking World Series loss.
For once, I had a non-Chevy, non-blinding blue rental car. It was a white Pontiac Grand Prix (at least Pontiac is a city in Michigan) and not at all a clown car. Best feature: the butt warmers in the seats! Rita and I both give them two paws up.
Dinner with Kathleen was fabulous, of course. She is one of the most interesting people I know. It was great to catch up, the food was wonderful, as always, and we had a bottle of nicely chilled white Bordeaux from Graves (90% Me, 10% Kathleen, the designated driver). I even had dessert and ate some of hers. Dessert fans: if you’re ever in Detroit, go to TJs. I had double berry crumble and Kathleen had housemade seedless blackberry ice cream with hot fudge sauce. Being such a good friend, I helped her out with the sundae, and it was a little piece of heaven. They make all their own desserts, and it’s worth the pilgrimage.
You probably won’t believe me after that rhapsody, but I rarely eat dessert. It was so worth making an exception!
And finally…what’s not to love about the giant Uniroyal Tire?

SWEET!!! I almost forgot whose blog this was when I saw the tire! I love that tire. It’s so DETROIT!
I was happy to share the sundae as I was so stuffed after my decadent portobella mushroom soup and sundried tomato quiche. I do love that place.
